buildroot syslog配置深入解析

1、syslog源码所在位置

syslog在busybox的工具包内
busybox是在buildroot的dl目录下（./buildroot/dl/busybox），这个目录会根据网址从网上下载压缩包
在./buildroot/dl/busybox/busybox-1.31.0/sysklogd$ l目录下有syslogd源码
syslogd.c

static const struct init_globals init_data = {
	.logFile = {
		.path = "/var/log/messages",  //源码定义了一个默认的log文件夹
		.fd = -1,
	},
#ifdef SYSLOGD_MARK
	.markInterval = 20 * 60,
#endif
	.logLevel = 8,
#if ENABLE_FEATURE_ROTATE_LOGFILE
	.logFileSize = 200 * 1024,  //源码定义log文件大小为200k
	.logFileRotate = 1,  //源码定义缓冲文件为1个，每次log文件写满200k之后，就会移到缓冲文件
#endif

这些源码初始化了log文件的大小和缓存的副本个数

2、syslog的配置文件syslog.conf 和syslog-startup.conf

这些文件在buildroot下的package目录：./buildroot/package/busybox
此目录下可看到以下三个文件，没有的话可以创建

S01syslogd(syslog运行脚本，系统启动时运行)  
syslog.conf（syslog配置文件，可参考https://blog.csdn.net/sssddd12345_/article/details/107856253）  
syslog-startup.conf(定义syslog默认配置文件，如默认目录/var/log/messages)

1、首先看syslog.conf
(可参考https://blog.csdn.net/sssddd12345_/article/details/107856253)

# /etc/syslog.conf - Configuration file for busybox's syslogd utility
kern.*;user.*           /var/log/kernel.log

2、其次看syslog-starup.conf

#This configuration file is used by the busybox syslog init script,
# /etc/init.d/syslog[.busybox] to set syslog configuration at start time.

DESTINATION="file"              # log destinations (buffer file remote)
LOGFILE=/var/log/messages   # where to log (file)
REMOTE=loghost:514              # where to log (syslog remote)
REDUCE=no                       # reduce-size logging
DROPDUPLICATES=no               # whether to drop duplicate log entries
ROTATESIZE=2048                 # rotate log if grown beyond X [kByte]
ROTATEGENS=2                    # keep X generations of rotated logs
BUFFERSIZE=64                   # size of circular buffer [kByte]
FOREGROUND=no                   # run in foreground (don't use!)
#LOGLEVEL=5                     # local log level (between 1 and 8)

3、然后看S01syslogd
S01syslogd是脚本文件，系统启动时运行，
解析过程：通过分析syslog-startup.conf，取出其中的参数进行配置

set -e
#判断是否存在/etc/syslog-startup.conf，否则使用源码配置
if [ -f /etc/syslog-startup.conf ]; then 
#运行配置文件
        . /etc/syslog-startup.conf         
LOG_LOCAL=0
        LOG_REMOTE=0
#循环所有的变量
        for D in $DESTINATION; do 
                if [ "$D" = "file" ]; then
						#如果存在LOGFILE，则使用此参数
                        if [ -n "$LOGFILE" ]; then
                                SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -O $LOGFILE"
                        Fi
						#如果存在ROTATESIZE，则添加此参数
                        if [ -n "$ROTATESIZE" ]; then 
                                SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -s $ROTATESIZE"
                        Fi
						#如果存在ROTATEGENS，则添加此参数
                        if [ -n "$ROTATEGENS" ]; then
                                SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -b $ROTATEGENS"
                        fi
                        LOG_LOCAL=1
                elif [ "$D" = "remote" ]; then
                        SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -R $REMOTE"
                        LOG_REMOTE=1
                fi
        done
        if [ "$LOG_LOCAL" = "1" -a "$LOG_REMOTE" = "1" ]; then
                SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -L"
        fi
        if [ "$REDUCE" = "yes" ]; then
                SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -S"
        fi
        if [ "$DROPDUPLICATES" = "yes" ]; then
            SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -D"
        Fi
		#如果存在ROTATEGENS，则添加此参数
        if [ -n "$LOGLEVEL" ]; then
            SYSLOG_ARGS="$SYSLOG_ARGS -l $LOGLEVEL"
        fi
else
        # default: log to 16K shm circular buffer
        SYSLOG_ARGS="-C"
fi

4、最后有makefile脚本（busybox.mk）进行编译

 if grep -q CONFIG_SYSLOGD=y $(@D)/.config; \
        then \
        		#复制syslog.conf
                $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -D package/busybox/syslog.conf \
                        $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/syslog.conf; \
                #复制syslog-startup.conf
                $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -D package/busybox/syslog-startup.conf \
                        $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/syslog-startup.conf; \
                #复制S01syslogd
                $(INSTALL) -m 0755 -D package/busybox/S01syslogd \
                        $(TARGET_DIR)/etc/init.d/S01syslogd; \
        fi; \

5、启动板卡，运行程序
(可参考https://blog.csdn.net/sssddd12345_/article/details/107856253)

# ls /etc/syslog.conf /etc/syslog-startup.conf 
/etc/syslog-startup.conf  /etc/syslog.conf

# ls /etc/init.d/S01syslogd 
/etc/init.d/S01syslogd

 ls /var/log/ -l
total 111
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        109348 Jan  8 08:58 kernel.log
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          3887 Jan  8 08:52 messages
